"Biden administration's evolving approach to Houthi terrorists and Iran-backed attacks in Yemen"

The Biden administration's decision to redesignate Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis as a terrorist group by adding them to the specially designated global terrorist (SDGT) list has been criticized for not putting the group on the foreign terrorist organization list, with experts arguing that this undermines the effectiveness of the designation. The administration's move aims to pressure the Houthis for their attacks on international trading ships but has faced backlash for not taking stronger action. Critics argue that the decision avoids taking real action and fails to address the full extent of the threat posed by the Houthis.
